Pay traffic fines (without interest) in June, regain driving privileges

Vancouver, WA – Clark County District Court and other courts in Washington State have been offering a debt reduction program in May to help people pay their traffic fines. Now the program is being offered through the end of June.

The courts and their collection agencies have agreed to waive interest and a significant portion of collection costs for people with outstanding traffic tickets and fines.

“We've had numerous calls expressing interest in the debt reduction program, so we've agreed to extend the program to the end of June,” says District Court Administrator Ela Selga. “In these difficult economic times, we hope that individuals with traffic fines will take advantage of the financial break being offered and possibly regain their privilege to drive.”

Those with outstanding Clark County tickets or fines that have been sent to collections should contact AllianceOne at 1-800-456-8838.

Once tickets are paid in full and reported to the court, adjudication slips must be delivered to the Washington State Department of Licensing to clear a driving record and obtain a valid driver’s license. However, licenses will only be reinstated if the individual qualifies under state licensing rules.
